My brother’s wedding
By ravsitar | April 21, 2009
Sounds like a movie title doesn’t it? But it’s not. My younger (middle of the three of us) got married a couple weeks ago. It was a nice ceremony. This all took place back in my hometown of Greenfield, IA. I wasn’t the photographer for the wedding, as I was one of the Groom’s-men. It’s a little hard to both take and be in photos at the same time. Not that I didn’t take photos, just none of the posed and lit formals that I would normally have taken.
I did take more photos at the rehearsal than normal. Mostly because for the rehearsal supper, they’d rented out the pool at a local hotel for the party. So there was a lot of roughhousing in the pool (and beer drinking). It was very dark in the pool. So I cranked up the ISO on my D300 to 3200 and popped the flash (SB800) on top with it aimed at the ceiling. Amazingly, I was able to get pretty good photos with this setup. I didn’t even use the fast 50mm f1.8 that I have. Most of the shots were with the 18-70mm (f3.5-4.5) and the 70-300mm VR (f4.5-5.6).
Here are a few photos from the weekend. More can be found on my flickr page.
Now that I’m more or less settled into my townhouse, hopefully I can get back to taking photos on a more regular basis. I’ll keep you posted.
For those who care, I’m on Twitter and post there fairly regularly. Check me out.
